Spielerstatistiken und Vorschau: Cleveland Cavaliers gegen Atlanta Hawks (6. März 2027)

Injury/Illness - Left Foot Fracture (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-11-13): Gueye (foot) is ready to begin on-court activities and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. The team stated in July that the big man would remain sidelined for the next 3-to-4 months after undergoing surgery to repair a fractured left foot, and he's continuing to make progress in his rehab. A timetable for Gueye's 2026-27 debut has yet to be established, thought a date could come into focus following his next evaluation in mid-December.

Injury/Illness - Right Hip Inflammation (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-11-15): Landale (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Milwakee. After being listed as available, Landale was downgraded and is in danger of missing Sunday's meeting with Milwaukee. If that happens, Zuby Ejiofor could see more minutes behind Onyeka Okongwu.

Injury/Illness - Lumbar Strain (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-11-14): Flemings (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks. Flemings left Friday's 125-117 loss to Chicago with back tightness after playing 17 minutes. The ailment will keep the rookie first-rounder on the sidelines Sunday, with veteran CJ McCollum the likely candidate to join the starting lineup. Flemings' next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus Oklahoma City.

Injury/Illness - Left Great Toe Hyperextension (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Newell (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Chicago. Newell will miss a fourth consecutive contest due to a left great toe hyperextension. He can be considered week-to-week until the Hawks provide an update on his progress.

Injury/Illness - Left Knee Inflammation; Non-Surgical Procedure (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-11-12): Gilbert (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls. Gilbert continues to deal with lingering knee inflammation and is without a timetable to return. He can be considered week-to-week until the Hawks offer an update on his progress.

Injury/Illness - Right ACL Tear (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL). Prior reporting (2026-09-21): Veesaar was diagnosed with a torn right ACL and is expected to miss the 2026-27 season, the Hawks announced Monday. Veesaar suffered the injury during a workout on Sept. 15, and an MRI confirmed the diagnosis. The No. 52 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Veesaar was expected to spend a lot of time with Atlanta's G League affiliate this season. Previously reported out for season.

G League - Two-Way (2026-11-15, ATL@MIL).

Mitchell (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks. Mitchell will miss his first game of the season due to a left knee contusion. The Cavaliers will be without all of their usual starters, meaning Tyrese Proctor, Meleek Thomas and Craig Porter should all see significant minutes in the backcourt.

Mobley (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's meeting with Dallas. Mobley will miss a second consecutive contest due to a left great toe sprain, and his next chance to play will come Monday against the Bulls. Jarrett Allen (knee) is questionable for Saturday's contest, so Thomas Bryant could be asked to step into an expanded role.

Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks. Allen will get a break to rest his injured right knee after playing in each of Cleveland's last three games. With Evan Mobley (toe) also out, Thomas Bryant can be expected to take on a larger role Saturday.

Harden (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Dallas. Harden will miss his first game of the season due to a calf issue he picked up sometime after Friday's loss to Miami. Fellow guard Donovan Mitchell (knee) will also be inactive Saturday, leaving Tyrese Proctor, Craig Porter and Meleek Thomas as Cleveland's top backcourt options.

Merrill (elbow) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Merrill has battled a lingering elbow issue since the preseason. He will now miss a third consecutive contest, with his next opportunity to suit up coming Friday in Miami. While Merrill is sidelined, Craig Porter, Meleek Thomas and Tyrese Proctor should see more minutes.

Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Mavericks. Watson will join the rest of Cleveland's regular starters on the inactive list. The 24-year-old's next chance to play will come Monday against Chicago. With Watson sidelined, Jaylon Tyson and Mario Hezonja will likely see increased playing time.

Tomlin is set to miss several weeks with a lower back stress reaction, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. This is a tough blow for the forward and there's no guarantee he's cleared right away when he's re-evaluated in three-to-four weeks. Tomlin wasn't projected to crack the rotation ahead of Opening Night and was penciled in to be an emergency depth option.
